DM: Which was fabulous, by the way-

JA: -it was very orange, and very loud, and I'm not sure you can say much else about it. But one thing you can say about it is that it filled the house every single night. It was great. It was great to perform in because people came to see you-whether they liked the show or not is a different issue, but people came. The rugby team, for the love of God, came to see it.

JG: Really? They live across the hall from me.

JA: Nice. Party in their room. But at the same time, as someone who's partly in charge of the requisite big splashy musical of the semester, I feel like there are some people trying to do some things with that, though. It's not just big and splashy-because I think big and splashy can be extremely boring-but ultimately people come away from it not thinking about anything. And also, in terms of an underground theater scene, that's where I'm more nervous.

JG: I think the tradition of experimental theater is being continued now by the visiting artists. I was in King Kong my freshman year, and that was the big experimental production for the year, and Agamemnon is here now with some visiting graduates from Harvard and Northwestern, and that's continuing the experimental tradition. But no students seem to be starting their own groups.

THC: Do you all feel like you missed something by not going to a pre-professional arts school, such as Julliard?
